Overview[]
Wooden Spider is a game created by Beettsy. It consists of a journey on a familiar island, leading up to a home that is in shambles. Insects and creatures are caged and hiding in fear all over the area because of the court. Using small lamps, players are able to view paintings unlocking bits of the story inside the house, causing them to learn more of the background regarding the Wooden Spider and the Court. They’re able to click on creatures around the map, learning about each of their almost similar stories. There are also some other insects around the map that attempt to attack the player, along with there being areas with pesticide that can kill the player.
Walkthrough[]
The player spawns concealed in a small gift box. Jumping out, they will find a small candle, the player should head in the direction of this candle through a small tunnel. At the end of the tunnel they will find a small sign reading “Slugs ahead!” Continuing in the same direction, the player will walk by some mushrooms and onto a wooden plank. They will see a bottle with a skull on it, indicating it is poison. The player should jump up onto the bottle and onto the new ground, continuing forward. The player should find a small lamp shop. Inside the shop there is an ant, if the player clicks on them, they will say “Ya should carry some, just get on them and roll.” Heading away from the shop in the same direction, the player will find another wooden plank they could climb on. Walking past another poison bottle, candle, and piece of metal they should turn the corner and find another candle. In front of the candle is a ladder the player can climb.
The player will find a note on a clipboard, it reads:
“-Look inside the house for anything interesting. I missed something important in there, I shouldn't mess this up again.
-Collect biodiversity samples. The island has many things I have never seen before, some things have different properties though and could even harm me, so I should be careful.
-Observe the biodiversity. Looking at the flowers will help me know if they are deadly or safe to touch. The bugs and insects on this island have strange behaviors, it might help to see why they are acting like this.”
The player should head forward on the stepping stones. They should make a right at the end of the path and climb a ladder-like structure. The player will find a large structure full of items that they cannot climb over. The player should head to the back of the area, avoiding the poison, and push the teacup over to the pile of items. The player should jump onto the teacup and onto a yellow bottle sticking out from the structure, making their way on top of everything.
Into the next area, the player will find caged creatures. In the closest cage on the right side of the area the player will find a small slug-like creature shooting something that damages the player. Across from it are some dummies, each one made to look like one of the three queens. Climbing on top of some logs on the right side, the player will find a caged creature, upon clicking them they will say “This place was never the same since the Wooden Spider walked by.” At the bottom of the logs the player will find a green creature, they will say “My eyes are cameras, their eyes are cameras.” On their right are two empty cages. On the opposite side there is a small creature, trapped in a bottle and being drowned in some sort of wax. They will say “I was sculpting as always, then all of a sudden the water turned dark. I saw it coming in the horizon.” They were most likely directing to a dark figure with glowing, white eyes found in the water surrounding the island. To their left is another small creature, they say “I lost one of my most precious sculptures inside the house, please find it before the court does!” Heading forward, the player will find an electricity generator. A small creature hiding with their eggs is found in the generator, they say “The artisans are now hidden inside the house, most were caged, they're scared from the court…” Climbing on top of the generator using a ladder on the right side, the player will find an entrance to a house. A small sign with a lantern is there, indicating the player needs lanterns to reveal many of the secrets within the house.
Inside the house, the player could jump down and find a small insect on the left side of the map. After clicking them, they say “It’s roots were growing from the beginning.” Climbing on top of the structure found by the insect, the player could walk forward and find something like a cabinet. Inside there is a map along with a painting. The painting shows a brown-ish insect, behind it there is a shadowy figure with white eyes. Heading forward the player will find a painting showing a boat being followed by dark figures with white, glowing eyes. Making a right and jumping onto another cabinet, the player will find a painting of a sunflower with yellow, glowing eyes surrounded by figures who blend into the darkness, only their white eyes are visible. Near the front of the house the player will find a painting of a small, purple flower. Next to the painting are some wooden toys that could be knocked over. They include a man, a bird, a horse, and a butterfly. Heading in the direction opposite of the flower painting the player will find a painting of a phonograph, an old music player. The player must be careful heading forward as they may get trapped in webs and killed by spiders. The player will soon find a painting of a tree-like structure. Under the table they will find a small structure showing a figure being controlled like a puppet by a darker figure and another figure being controlled on the left. The player can also see trapped figures in bottles throughout the home. At the top right corner of the house the player will find a spider they could click, the spider will say “The best way to tell a story is by using art.” To the left of the spider the player will see a painting of a crow holding a letter. At the end of the home, the player will see a painting of a spider along with the dead body of an insect.
Outside, the player should take a right from the home’s entrance and head to a puddle of poison. The player could roll on a bottle to reach across. There should be a small ant sitting on a bush in the poison puddle, they will say “Once I thought the pesticide was killing us.” The player could also jump onto a small sign indicating the puddle is poisonous, jump onto a slanted pillar, onto a small candle, and on a candle to reach the other side. At the end, the player could climb a ladder and find a new area. Here the player could see a radio, a small seesaw, and a lot of books. The player can also find a small area made specially for the queen, it’s a room-like structure created by a gift box. Heading forward, the player will see a fallen tree with a beehive and a telescope laid on it that the player could click, showing them the skyline of a city. The player will also find a wanted poster for a wasp-like creature in the hollowed-out tree trunk.
